Malaysia’s producer prices jumped 10.7% year-on-year in August 2026, accelerating from a 9.7% increase in the prior month and marking the sixth straight month of growth. It was also the strongest annual rise since June 2022, amid persistent producer cost pressures linked to supply disruptions from the Middle East conflict. Manufacturing prices quickened (8.8% vs 8.2% in July), driven by higher costs for coke & refined petroleum products (33.5%) and computer, electronic & optical products (12.4%). Mining also gained momentum (41.2% vs 30.5%), boosted by stronger growth in crude petroleum extraction (49.8%). Meanwhile, price growth in agriculture slowed (4.6% vs 7.2%), despite increases in animal production (13.9%). Utilities also expanded at a softer pace, amid slowdown in water supply (7.8% vs 10.2%) and electricity & gas (6.4% vs 6.7%). On a monthly basis, producer prices rose 1.0%, up from 0.6% in July.
